Brief description:
The IEEE GLOBECOM 2008 Computer and Communications
Network Security Symposium 
(CCNS) will be held in New Orleans, USA, November
2008. 
With the advent of pervasive computer applications
and due to the proliferation
of heterogeneous wired and wireless computer networks,
computer and network 
security has become paramount. The Computer and Communications
Network Security
Symposium will address all aspects of the modeling,
design, implementation, 
deployment, and management of computer/network security
algorithms, protocols, 
architectures, and systems. Furthermore, contributions
devoted to the 
evaluation, optimization, or enhancement of security
mechanisms for current 
technologies as well as devising efficient security
and privacy solutions for 
emerging technologies are solicited. 
Original papers are invited in the area of computer
and network security. 
Papers must represent high-quality and previously
unpublished work. 
Contributions in CCNS symposium target wired networks
as well as wireless 
networks: 
3G/ 4G, Satellite, IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, Ad hoc,
vehicular, Sensor and RFID 
networks, WiMAX/ 802.16, 802.16e and Peer-to-peer
systems.
